Perl.cgi soap request HTTP ERROR 411

hartyshow · 08-01-2019, 03:23 PM

Hello! I'm trying to learn SoapUI, but when running the code below I'm getting HTTP ERROR 411
all files are in /var/www/html/ not sure what's the issue

Quote:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
-> dispatch_to('Demo')
-> handle;

package Demo;

sub hi

{
return "hello, world";
}

sub bye

{
return "goodbye, cruel world";
}

Linux: CentOS 6.8
Appache: Apache/2.2.15
Perl: v5.10.1

<Directory "/var/www/html/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

any idea how to fix that?

411 Length Required
The request did not specify the length of its content, which is required by the requested resource

From CPAN re: SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI

Quote:

handler(SafeClassHash, OptionalDispatcher)

This is the only method on the class, and you must pass a hash reference whose keys contain the collection of classes that may be invoked at this endpoint....

So I'm guessing that the error is because you've not used the module correctly...but that's just a guess...

thanks for the response but this is a very basic code in a file script.cgi and I call the file through the browser nothing fancy. like so Palmcity.net/script.cgi I'm not using SmartBear client

Is that the code you posted in the quote tags in your OP?
If you use code tags instead, the code would be more readable.

That said, my answer is the same...you do not seem to be using the perl module as it is designed to be used.
CPAN is your friend. That's where the documentation for all perl modules resides.

Can you provide a little bit more detail, on what exactly you think I should change in my code? I'm very new at this, I will appreciate if I can have a clear guidance on what is the problem and how to fix it.
I tried to add these handler(SafeClassHash, OptionalDispatcher) it didn't work, I also added more modules, but the problem remains

Sorry, no. I've no interest in reading the documentation for/to you. And, besides, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish...what your goal is.

Again. CPAN. Contains excellent documentation and examples.
